GE2021-30
Music Salon has been a hub in HKU for quite some years for music lovers of different genres to mingle and interact, developing music friendships. We believe that music can transcend beyond genres, languages, and formats, and should not be limited to one specific definition.
From intimate sharing sessions to a field trip, four sessions of Music Salon have been curated to broaden your musical experience and taste.
#1 Music Sharing @ Gatherland (22/2)
18:00 – 20:00 | GE Gatherland 240 | English | Quota: 15
What does, “Music is Infinite” mean to you? In this session, you are cordially invited to simply put on your favourite music to share with your schoolmates in the “chillax” room with our audiophile speakers. Any music genre in any format, including vinyl, CD, or even a digital file from your mobile phone is welcome. You might also have the chance to learn how to play a vinyl record yourself!
This session will be cancelled.
#2 Music Field Trip “HK Pop 60+” @ HK Heritage Museum (10/3)
15:30 – 17:30 | HK Heritage Museum | Cantonese* | Quota: 20
This is a new exhibition about the evolution of HK’s pop culture/music history over the past 6 decades. Chi Chung will share his participation in this project and shed some light on our fabulous heritage.
This session will be cancelled.
#3 Music Dialogue with Edward Chan (21/3)
18:00 – 20:00 | Online Platform | Cantonese*
在本地樂壇擔當着重要位置，多年來不斷培育本地創作人的著名音樂監製Edward Chan將在《音樂沙龍》作客，分享他的音樂路。由方大同到Mirror，多年來一路走來，他觀察到的本地樂壇有否轉變？而有古典音樂底子的他，在創作階段又有否遇到挑戰或突破？
Top CantoPop composer/producer/band leader Edward Chan will share his insights into the emerging pop sensations and how his classical music education background helped him to broaden his horizons and sustain his creativity from Khali Fong to Phil Lam, Sammi Cheng, to Cath Wong, Lil Ashes to Dear Jane, Twins to Mirror, and many more.
